Swapna Kumbar , Bengaluru - New U.S. airstrikes on Iran have killed at least seven people at an Iranian Army base and wounded more than 260 others, according to the latest reports. The strikes came as Tehran also attacked Jordan while the U.S. reimposed its blockade on Iran, pushing the conflict further across the region.

The U.S. carried out a new round of strikes on Iranian targets, including air-defense systems and IRGC small boats around the Strait of Hormuz, to weaken Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping. Iranian state media later said at least one person was killed and four others injured in an earlier strike on an agricultural water facility in Mahshahr, later waves of attacks continued through the weekend. The newer reporting in your prompt indicates the toll has now risen sharply at an Iranian Army base, showing how quickly the human cost is climbing.

The broader exchange has also spread well beyond Iran’s borders. Iran fired missiles at a U.S. air base in Jordan, while Bahrain and Kuwait activated air-raid defenses and missile-alert systems as incoming drones and missiles were detected. Trump stepped back from the earlier 20% shipping-fee idea and instead moved to reimpose a blockade on Iranian shipping, underscoring a more direct economic and military squeeze on Tehran.

The latest strikes show a conflict that is now spilling across the Gulf and hitting military and civilian targets alike. With Tehran retaliating, U.S. pressure increasing, and Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait all under threat, the standoff is moving deeper into dangerous escalation.
